JOHN E. SOI-ILIEPER, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.

SECTIONAL FEED-WATER HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 607,960, dated July 26,1898.

Application filed May 11, 1897. Serial No. 636,126. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, JOHN E. SCHLIEPER, a citizen of. the United States,residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSectional Feed- Water Heaters; and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 indicates a side elevation of myimprovedsectional feed-water heater. Fig. 2 is asection of the samethrough the line 00 m of Fig. 6. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same.Fig. 4 is a vertical end section through lines 1 y of Figs. 1 and 2.Fig. 5 is a plan of the same. Fig. 6 is a transverse section on lines aa of Figs. 1 and 2, looking upwardly. Fig. 7 is a sectional elevation ofa modification of my improved heater. Fig. 8 is an inverted transversesection on lines z z of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is an end elevation of the same.Fig. 10 is a vertical section on lines w w of Fig. 7.

The object of myinvention is to obtain the maximum water heating surfacewith the minimum surface liable to incrustation.

In the base of the heater are formed four chambers a a a a two of whichare connected together, while the others are quite separate. Fig. 2shows the connection between the two right-hand chambers a a whereas inFig. 7 the middle chambers a a are thus connected. Arched pipes 0,arranged in series, extend from the extreme left-hand chamber a to theextreme right-- hand chamber a, and similar pipes c in like mannerconnect the chambers a a together, as shown in Fig. 2, or, as shown inFig. 7, I may employ vertical pipes o c c to connect the four lowerchambers to two upper chambers, which communicate through an opening intheir partition Qc -that is, the pipes of series 0 will connect chambera to chamber a, the pipes of series 0 will connect chamber a to chamber00 and the pipes of the intermediate two series 0 connect, respectively,chamher a to chamber 0; and chamber a to chamber :0

In the several figures, m designates the casing; n, the cover of thelower chambers a, a a and (L to which the lower ends of the said pipesare firmly secured and which is bolted to the said base and casing; h, asteam-inlet, and 2' and 7c represent exhaust-tubes taking steamrespectively from the side and the top of the heater. A deflector f isarranged under the arch cl of pipes c for the purpose of causing thesteam to flow around the said pipes on its way through the heater.

In Fig. 2 the, partitions between the chambers a, a a and a aredesignated, respectively, b, 12*, and b the opening through the latterbeing designated 6. The feed-water is preferably admitted into chamber aat p, dotted lines, and passes through pipes c to chamber aithencethrough opening 6 to chamber a, thence through pipes c to chamber a, andout to the boiler, being thoroughly heated by the steam in this tortuouspassage.

The base, which incloses the chambers a, a a and a supports the casingand pipes, as well as the deflector and all other elements of the bodyof the heater, and also provides in said chambers an important part ofthe said passage. Its cover or top at is a flat plate well adapted to bebolted to the flanges of the parts immediately above and below it.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

A casing in, in combination with a series of chambers a a? a a the twolatter of which are directly in communication with each other, a seriesof arched pipes 0 making communication between chambers a and a a seriesof arched pipes 02 making communication between chambers a a and meansfor supplying steam to the space around the said pipes and a water inletand outlet arranged to cause the flow of water through all the chambersand series of pipes in succession substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and affix my seal this 6thday of January, A. D. 1897.
